Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2698754" data-attributes="member: 85785">Are you active during those times when spiking to 9 & 10, before you drop before pre meal result?This could be your body's natural response to fasting. As in a providing you with some glucose from your natural stores for energy. The drop to pre meal will be the normal insulin to provide you with energy.Some can fast and it won't bother your BG levels. Some can't, and of course the reverse is possible.I would imagine @EllieMay11 that all this is new to you.And reading up on how to benefit from using your glucometer and results. And how to interpret such things as dawn phenomenon, fasting blood glucose levels, pre meal, two hours after first bite, spikes, lows, hypers, hypos, false hypos and such.It is a learning curve and then finding out about what to eat and exercise and such.By asking these questions, reading the threads, gaining the knowledge, understanding why you are T2.And by the way, it is unusual to test between waking, fasting and pre meal.It would make more sense as a benchmark to test pre meal and two hours after first bite. This would give you an idea of what foods or mix of foods do to your blood glucose levels.What to look for after two hours is, if your reading is less than 2mmols higher than your pre meal reading. What you are is ok. If it is higher than 2mmols from your pre meal then something in that meal is causing the longer spike.As a T2, higher than normal spikes are to be avoided.Hope this helps.</blockquote>
